Day #5939 – (Fri., Apr. 10, 2026) – Project Hail Mary!

Katie skipped the morning classes this morning and I drove her to Vanier at 12:25 pm this afternoon. Bobby drove his bike to school and was there all day long.

I picked up Katie at Vanier at 3:10 pm this afternoon and we drove to Landmark to see the movie “Project Hail Mary”. Jax and Ruby, her Model UN friends, recommended it to her. She picked up a large combo meal (with butter on the popcorn) and I picked up a snack pack with no butter on the popcorn. She had strawberry Fruitopia and I had Coca-Cola. She had Sour Patch Kids and I had some Smarties. You can see a photo of Katie after the show in the image to the left. This was Daddy/Daughter Day #168!

Here’s what ChatGPT said about this movie: “Project Hail Mary follows a lone astronaut, Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling), who wakes up aboard a spaceship with no memory of who he is or why he’s there, only to discover he’s humanity’s last hope to stop a mysterious cosmic threat that’s dimming the sun and endangering life on Earth. As his memories slowly return, he pieces together the desperate mission that sent him across the stars, relying on science, ingenuity, and an unexpected alliance to solve an impossible problem. Blending humor, tension, and big ideas, the story turns a solitary survival mission into something much deeper about connection, trust, and what it means to save the world.

Bobby told me that Esca might be coming over this weekend. Esca is apparently quite the proficient gymnast and Bobby was saying how he was planning on learning to do flips on the trampoline. At some point this weekend I might take him to see the Mario Brothers movie at Landmark!
